Figure. Proportion of Extrafamilial and Intrafamilial Wrong-Patient Orders Among Multiple-Birth Infants Receiving Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Figure.

Retract-and-reorder (RAR) events are defined as 1 or more orders placed for a patient that are retracted (ie, canceled) by the same clinician within 10 minutes, then reordered by the same clinician for a different patient within the next 10 minutes. Extrafamilial errors occur between a multiple-birth infant and a nonsibling receiving care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the same time. Intrafamilial errors occur between a multiple-birth infant and a sibling receiving care in the NICU at the same time.
